There are a number of areas in JSCAPE MFT Server where regular expressions can be employed. The regular expressions in the DLP (Data Loss Prevention) module, for instance, play a crucial role in finding sensitive credit card numbers among data stored in your managed file transfer server. This will allow you to automate the tedious task of finding and protecting (e.g. by encryption) these sensitive data and help you comply with PCI DSS requirements.

In most production environment scenarios it is prudent for an administrator to keep backups of JSCAPE MFT Server configurations. This can be especially critical with large and complex configurations in the event that a JSCAPE MFT Server configuration may need to be restored. Such an event may be the failure of a hard disk that JSCAPE MFT Server is installed and running on. In the event that you may need to reinstall JSCAPE MFT Server on a new drive, having a backup of an advanced configuration could save you a substantial amount of time. Maybe you find the need at some point to roll the configuration of your JSCAPE MFT Server back to a configuration you had on a previous date.

JSCAPE is pleased to announce the release of JSCAPE MFT Server 8.2. This latest version comes with a number of user interface and performance enhancements, but the biggest news is the newly added support for AFTP actions in the triggers module.
